Zara
We got to the hotel after about a few hours of driving. The hotel was a sky high building that visibly had a lot of floors. It also had a futuristic look and feel about its exterior.
We walked into the lobby hand in hand as Aminu hadn't let go of my hand since we started this journey. On the wall was written in big letters "ESPACIO the Jewel of Waikiki".
This hotel had boujee and luxurious vibes written all over it.We headed over to the receptionist's desk to get our room key. The receptionist was a white lady with blonde hair wearing a navy blue suit which had her name tag on it which read 'Marissa Coleman'.
" Good Morning sir, ma'am, welcome to Espacio. How may I help you?" She asked politely and cheerfully. "Apartment reservations for Aminu Garba and Zara Okafor" Aminu told her and she began typing on her computer. It was surprising that Aminu put my name on the room
ZaraI stepped back in fear when I saw a figure in the shadows watching me. My heart breathing really rapidly. I was really scared of the dark. The figure slowly stepped out into the light and it was only Aminu."Aminu you evil child." I groaned as he doubled back laughing."You should have seen your face" he teased. I really wasn't finding it funny.I rolled my eyes and stomped into the bedroom angrily "you just wake up and choose violence early in the morning" I muttered as I slid under the duvet.He followed after me now silent. I was sure he knew I was really upset now. "Zara are you really pissed about that?" He asked with a low raspy voice that made me almost forget why I was mad at him in the first place as he slid into bed beside me."Why wouldn't I be?. You almost gave me a heart attack Aminu." I half yelled and faced the opposite directi
ZaraI sat on the balcony for a while to gather my thoughts. It hurt to see people who didn't know the truth berate me and curse me the way those people on that blog post did. I knew that other blogs also posted the news as that was juicy information for them. Never in my life would I have thought that I would be involved in a scandal such as this. The words the people were saying ringing in my head so much. Was I really depriving a child of his father? I mean, Aminu and I only talked about his child once where he said he didn't feel a fatherly connection to Nasir but that wasn't my doing. When I met Aminu, he hadn't been with Jasmine for years so none of this was my fault or doing. My only crime was falling in love with a man who had a crazy baby mama. He had also shown that he would support me through everything so I had nothing to worry about. I decided to mend things with him because this fight was very unnecessary.
ZaraThe mall was beautiful. It looked like it was made of glass. It had different names of the shops in it written on it. I could recognize a few. Louis Vuitton because Tiara had the bag, Yves Saint Laurent because I have the shoes that my aunt got me, and Gucci because well, who didn't know Gucci.Aminu took my hand and we walked through the motion sensored doors of the mall. I was really excited to see what Aminu brought me here for.Aminu guided me to our first stop with our two of our security personnel trailing behind us. The store was called Hermes. I had heard of the store on social media, known for their famous and expensive birkin bags and Kelly bags. I had always admired their bags when I saw them on social media when I saw them in the hands of celebrities. They are always so expensive though so I could only dream of having one. I just wondered why we were in a Hermes store.
ZaraI woke up early the next morning feeling sore all over. Aminu was still by my side deep in slumber and I was sure he was also so tired from our night of escapades. The night was so blissful and beautiful as we shared the most intimate moments we ever had. At this point I knew that I would never leave this man, not for any treasure in the entire world. Except he pulls a Lagos boy on me but something deep inside me was sure that he would never do it to me. There were many times he could have left me, but he didn't. Looking at his perfect and peaceful face, I was happy I didn't leave even when I had thoughts to do so. I was more than happy with him.After lying down in bed for a while, I got up, deciding to at least take a shower before Aminu woke up and as I walked towards the bathroom, the stack of boxes caught my eye. I suddenly remembered the box that I had made a mental note to check because I had no idea w
ZaraThe luau venue was just behind the hotel on the beach. The sky was dark and the music was very loud even from afar as we walked towards the party. As we got closer, I got so excited and nervous at the same time for the party. I held Aminu's hand tighter as we entered the party area.The party had already gone into full swing, there were people everywhere, eating, drinking, socialising, dancing and all. I didn't know where to even start with the party. The party arena had a wooden theme to it with a wooden entrance where we were given those flower necklaces and a flower crown for me.The party was actually fun. It turned out that Aminu knew a few people. We chatted with a few of his friends who brought their wives and girlfriends so I got to know them. We danced through the night and ate a lot. It was so much enjoyment everywhere.I had never been
Zara I woke up to the sun shining on my face. Not wanting to open my eyes, I immediately by impulse felt for Aminu to which I got an empty bed space. I dragged myself up to see that Aminu was all dressed up and carrying our luggage around. "Mimi what are you doing?" I asked him making him aware that I was awake. "Oh, Good morning my love" he said smiling at the sight of me. "Good morning" I said rubbing my eyes. Surprisingly, I didn't have a hangover from all that alcohol that I took last night. "What's going on?" I asked again as he continued moving stuff around. "Oh this? We are leaving actually" he said with some excitement in his voice. My eyes widened in shock "what?!" I yelled. I got out of bed and wore my flip flops faster that the speed of sound. "Mimi why didn't you wake me up or even tell me
ZaraWe woke up when it was time to get down from the plane. The light from the open door of the plane shone in my eye making me almost have a migraine. Aminu and I had slept in our respective chairs so as to not be disturbed for landing. I actually really wanted a ton of sleep for no reason."Hey, are you gonna freshen up or we'll do that when we get to the hotel." Aminu asked as I stood up groggily."Hotel's fine. It's a bit cold anyways" I said making my way to the restroom to relieve myself while went into the room to change his clothes. I decided to keep my clothes on and just change in the hotel.I got done and came out to the lounge to see Aminu up and ready to go. He held two to-go cups in his hands and was casually sipping from one. I figured it was coffee."I'm ready" I said walking up to him. He handed me the other cup in his hand which I appreciated because I needed t
ZaraOur time in Greece was amazing. The culture here was extraordinarily beautiful and I had just realized that I had a knack for learning new cultures and soaking it all in.The day after we arrived was very eventful. We started the day early, having a very nice Greek breakfast to a beautiful view. We immediately went exploring because Greece apparently had a lot of historical places and I wanted to see them. We went to some old ruins on the mountains and it was quite fascinating to think there was once any civilization in those mountains.Apparently the most ideal way for us to move around inside the town with ease was with a four wheeler which Aminu surprisingly knew how to drive. We drove around for well over thirty minutes which allowed me to see the beautiful Santorini village and people. I had bugged Aminu until he stopped in the market area.A
